'3 Claims. (01. 259-'72) .My invention relates toa device for the mixspout 2'7 closed by a detachable exteriorly ing,chilling, and dispensing of cocktails. threaded plug 30.

The primary objects of, my invention are; pro- A cover 32 forthe containerhas an approxivision in a single structure, of means, for agitatmately dome shaped hollow body portion 33, an ing, chilling, or dispensing cocktails; to enable external annular shoulder 34 upon its lower-portheoperation of the agitatmg and chilling means tion adapted to rest upon the beaded top of the either simultaneously or successively; to insure flange 19, and a depending flange 36 slidably a completemisceration of the ingredients of the engageable withthe interior of the flange 19. cocktail; to renderthe swizzler rod accessible In the center of the cover body isa hole 37 110 for manipulation by theoperators palms; to provided with an internal screw thread 38. The .65 facilitate the assemblage and disassemblage of hole is in vertical alignment with a round openthe rod, the cover, and the chilling receptacle; ing 39 in the center of a circular horizontal bracand to attainthe. above objects in a simple and ing disk 40 fixed to the disk and cover with its inexpensive structure. Other objects-and adends registering with the hole. 37 and opening vantages will be hereinafter evident to those 39. The guide fOrmS a bearing O Ta'SWi IB 7 skilled in the art. rod 42.

To the above ends essentially my invention This rod, which in this Case, is Solid and y nconsists in ,suchparts .and in such combinations drical, comp an pD Y lower'section 43 of parts as fall within the scope of the appended and. 44 respectively, the latter being shorter than the former. They are detachable from each other 75 claims.

In the accompanying drawings forming a part by reason of a threaded connection which, as of this specification, shown in Figure 3, is formed by a nipple 46 on Figure 1 is a side elevation of my cocktail the section 43 provided with an external thread shaker, 47. This thread engages an internal thread 48 Figure 2, a vertical section on line 2-2 of in an axial cavity 49 in the end of the section 44. ,so

Immediately below the head is a Figures 4 and 5, sections on lines 4-4 and scr w thread 53 d p to engage h thread 55 respectively of Figure 2, 38 in the hole 37 through which the rod passes. 5 Figure 6, an enlarged section on line 6-6 of e a te is J' d in the Opening 39 0f the Figure 8, bearing 40.

adapted to engage a similar internal thread 63 ths u tfi ut t l fe v ivg mdlcate hke parts upon a depending cylindrical ring 65 fixed at o g its upper end to the interior of the cover adjav 45 My cocktail shaker comprises an upwardly cent the brace 40 and forming a socket. In the tapering transversely circular container 15, prefreceptacle portion 59 is a depending flange 66 erably of metal or glass mcluding bo'ttom in alignment with the orifice 60 provided with a side 1'7, a top 18, and a vertical flange 19 suran external thread rounding central Opening 20 in the top and The normal or inactive position of all the ,105 constituting the mouth 21 of the receptacle. described parts e as shown in Figure 2 If t T t p of t flange 19 has a ad A is desired to agitate the contents of the container outwardly flaring hollow base 23 is integral with 15 while the cooling receptacle 58 is active therethe side and bottom. A handle 26 is fast to the in the head 51 is grasped and the rod 42 is side 17, and diametrically opposite thereof is a turned to elevate the thread 53 out of engage-. 11 1) ment with the thread 38. When thus released the rod may be further elevated to the broken line position to afford room for the operators palms to close upon the rod above the top of the cover 32. The palms are then speedily reciprocated which imparts reciprocating rotary motion to the blades to agitate the liquid conents of the container.

The chilling receptacle 58 may be removed while-the rod is in released position by lifting the cover 32, the blades 55 and the member 58 being of such dimensions as to permit their passage through the container mouth 21.

If desired the chilling member 58 may be now removed for repeated use, emptying, or replenishing by unscrewing the rod section 44 to separate the latter from the section 43, and next by unscrewing the member 58 from engagement with the cover ring 65. If desired, upon such removal,

a detachable plug or cap 68 having a thread 69 engageable with the thread 67 may be applied to the flange 66, as shown in Figure 10.-

Hereinabove the agitating and chilling operations were performed simultaneously, but this is not imperative. If preferred the mixing or agitating operation may be first performed with the member 58 absent, as shown in Figure 8. Next the rod 42 may be removed, and a modified form of ice receptacle 67 may be mounted in the socket as shown in Figure 9. I The member 67 differs in construction from the member 58 solely in the absence from the former of the orifice 60, and when employed it is convenient to insert a threaded plug 69 in the hole 3'7.

In dispensing the liquid from the container the latter is tilted by the handle 26 and the contents discharged through the spout 2'? after removal of the plug 30.

1, In a device of the character described, a container provided with an opening, a cover carried by the container closing the opening pro- Vided with a threaded hole, a tubular guide supported by the cover in alignment with the hole, a brace in the cover engaging the guide, a swizzler rod slidable in the guide, radial blades upon the rod in the container, 2. head upon the rod above the cover, and a thread upon the rod adjacent the head adapted to engage the cover in the threaded opening.

2. In a device of the character described, a container provided with an opening in its top, a cover upon the top enclosing the opening, a socket in the cover, a chilling receptacle comprising a body portion provided with an open' upper end detachably engaging the socket at said end, said body being provided at its lower end with a central orifice, and a circular depending flange upon the body surrounding the opening provided with a screw thread, and a closure member provided with a screw thread adapted to engage the first thread.

3. In a device of the character described, a container provided with an opening, a cover supported by the container closing the opening and "provided with a central hole, a guide fast tothe cover in alignment with the hole, an elongated chilling receptacle open at its top. supported by the cover and provided with an orifice in its bottom, a swizzler rod comprising an upper section loose in the hole, guide and orifice, a head upon the upper end of said section above the cover, and a lower section detachably engaging the first section and adapted to pass through said orifice, and lateral blades upon the second section.
